Congratulations to the Pegasus winners!

This year was a good crop! The 2018 Pegasus winners are here, and I hope everyone is having a great time at OVFF! Sorry we couldn't be there!

We were at home this weekend working on something different... this new video! Of our newest song! It's our first public performance of the song, from Music Under the Trees in August, and of course it's got some fantastic string playing by Betsy and Sunnie. Enjoy!

The volume seems to drop occasionally, especially in the second half, is that fixable?

Interesting. I do not experience any problems with the volume when I play the video.

Possible causes:

- Something could be happening with your playback device which is causing the volume drops. Can you reproduce the same issue on a different playback device? This includes playing it back on a different computing device, or changing the audio output hardware (headphones to speaker, or different headphones, or different headphone cord, for example). Also, is the issue occurring in the same locations during every play-through? If the answer is "no" to either of those questions, then the problem is at the playback end. If the answer is "yes" to both questions, then please send me the time indexes of the problem spots.

- The song has some deliberate dynamic changes in spots. But I know that you are very good at analyzing songs, so I don't believe that you would mistake a change in the song's dynamics for a volume problem.

To answer your specific question: If there were a technical problem with the video or audio, I can't make changes to the YouTube video itself. YouTube does not let me upload a "fixed" copy of a video into the same slot as the prior video. I can only delete the video entirely and re-create it from scratch, which would break all published links, delete any comment threads, etc. However if there turns out to be an actual technical problem that's fixable, then that might be the only recourse.

Thanks for bringing it up!

Okay, so I spent some time with this and the dips in volume are not always in the same places, so it is a playback thing.
But it would not hurt future videos if you would look up occasionally so folks can see your face ;-)
